Chapter 3 Mysterious Old Man
In order to welcome the immortals, the villagers specially set up a high platform in the north of the village. At this moment, the high platform is surrounded by three circles outside the village.
Aunt Yun pulled Yun Chengtian and squeezed in. When she squeezed into the front of the stage, Yun Chengtian saw the pillar standing on the platform at a glance. At this moment, he was standing behind a young Taoist in a white Taoist robe.
Yun Tiancheng waved to the iron pillar and shouted, "Iron pillar...iron pillar!"
Tiezhu did not answer, but blinked to Yun with a smile all day.
Aunt Yun said to Yun all day, "Go up quickly. The iron pillar has been selected by the immortal."
When Yun Chengtian heard that Tiezhu had passed the selection, he was very happy and said, "I'll go too." Just run to the high platform.
There are still dozens of young children in the village queuing in front of the high platform. Yun Chengtian rushed up, did not queue up, and squeezed straight up.
Aunt Yun looked down and shouted, "Que up! Line up!" But the clouds have disappeared all day long.
"Children and grandchildren are free, don't worry about them." Zhu Erniang came with a smile on her face. Although she tried her best to hide it, the folds from the smile on her mouth were still very obvious.
"Alas, your iron pillar has passed. This boy all day long, alas, it really makes people worry about that." Aunt Yun looked worried.
The sun is gradually setting.
Aunt Yun took Yun Chengtian's hand, and the two slowly walked on their way home. They didn't say anything for a long time.
Yun Chengtian's face was depressed.
I'm sorry." It's Yun Chengtian to speak first.
"Alas, it's okay. It's good if you can't choose. If you go so far, you can't rest assured. It's fine now." Aunt Yun is comforting Yun Chengtian.
"What's wrong with you? Why have you changed a person?" A voice suddenly came next to me.
At a glance, it was the old man who bumped into him in the morning.
The old man came here with a smile and said to the clouds all day by day, "Why is it like this? Is it because you didn't pass the selection?
Yun Chengtian opened his eyes and said, "Well, how do you know I didn't pass the selection?"
Aunt Yun was very surprised and asked Yun Chengtian, "Who is this old man? How do you know each other?"
Yun Chengtian told my mother what happened in the morning. Hearing this, Aunt Yun quickly saluted the old man and said, "Old man, I'm sorry, our child is ignorant. Have you hurt anything?"
After saying that, he patted the clouds all day, "Why don't you make amends for the old man quickly?"
The old man waved his hand with a smile and said, "Forget it, my old bone is still tough."
Yun Chengtian then asked the old man, "How do you know that I didn't pass the selection?"
The old man put away his laughing expression and asked Yun Chengtian, "Of course I know. Let me ask you, do you really want to practice? Or are you still playing?"
Yun Chengtian didn't know why. After listening to the old man's words, he suddenly felt that the old man was not an ordinary person, and even Aunt Yun heard something from the old man's words.
Aun aunt Yun quickly took over and said, "It's true. He really wants to go."
The old man ignored Aunt Yun and stared at Yun Tiantian.
Yun Chengtian said, "I really want to go."
The old man smiled and said nothing.
The old man shouted out of thin air: "Xuan Ming."
Then a man in a white Taoist robe appeared out of thin air. Aunt Yun saw that it was the immortal of the Tianji School.
Aunt Yun pulled Yun Chengtian and knelt down quickly and said, "See the fairy."
The man named Xuanming ignored Aunt Yun, but bowed to the old man and said, "The disciple is there. What can the elder tell you?"
Aunt Yun and the two have already been stunned.
The old man waved his hand and said, "No."
A finger of clouds all day, Chong Xuanming said, "This boy is predestined to me. You can also take it back by the way."
"Disciples obey." Xuanming bowed and saluted.
Aunt Yun couldn't help it. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She kowtowed to the old man and said, "Thank you, fairy, thank you."
Yun was still stunned all day and didn't realize what was going on.
When Aunt Yun got up, the old man had already disappeared.
"Go home tonight to pack up and gather at the entrance of the village tomorrow morning. Don't be late." Xuanming finished speaking without a trace.
On the way home, Aunt Yun had already smiled happily and saw everyone greeting him, for fear that others would not know that Yun would go to cultivate immortals all day long.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. Let's kowtow to your father," Aunt Yun said all day long.
To his father's spiritual position, Yun Chengtian kowtowed three times.
"I'm really going to cultivate immortals?" Yun Chengtian looked up at my face and said.
"Really, of course, it's true. It's really thanks to the old man. I really can't see that the old man is still a fairy. It seems to be much more powerful than those immortals selected today. Look how polite the fairy is to which old man." Aunt Yun said.
"But I will miss you." Yun Chengtian said another sentence.
"Silly child, when you become a fairy, just come back to see your mother." Although Aunt Yun tried her best to cover it up, Yun still saw the crystal tears in the corners of her eyes all day.
At this moment, the clouds feel fierce. I'm really old.
Yun Chengtian stood up, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will never humiliate you. Once I become a fairy, I will come back to see you."
"Yeah, I believe you go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Yun looked at the stars outside the window all day, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and fell asleep.
He doesn't know what kind of road he will choose from now on.
For the first time, Yun Chengtian didn't get up late. After getting up, Yun Chengtian saw a steaming breakfast on the table at a glance. Don't be smit. Pack up after dinner and leave. Aunt Yun woke up the cloud that was stunned all day.
Yun changed his clean clothes all day, washed his face, and arrived at the table. The table was full of what he usually likes to eat. Somehow, he couldn't take a bite at this time.
At the urging of Aunt Yun, Yun Chengtian took a few mouthfuls of rice randomly.
"Mom, let's go." Yun Chengtian urged.
"Just go by yourself. How old are you? You have to let your mother accompany you." Aunt Yun's voice came from the next room.
Yun Chengtian was not talking. He silently picked up the package that had packed his clothes last night and shouted to the inner room: "Well... I'm leaving."
There was no sound in the room.
Clouds walk slowly on the path in the village all day. He suddenly found that he got up really early today. The doors of every family were closed, and several of them had smoke.
When the cloud arrived at the meeting place all day, he found that the whole place was empty.
The sun slowly rose, and the clouds were very comfortable all day long. Unconsciously, a trace of sleepiness came.
It's pleasant to sleep in the shade of trees in summer. Yun fell asleep unconsciously.
In the dream, Yun Chengtian dreamed of a nightmare that he had often had before.
With the shouting of "I will abandon me in the fairyland, I would rather become a demon", Yun Chengtian was awakened.
Yun wiped the cold sweat on his head all day and looked around. Many people had gathered.
In the crowd, Yun Chengtian saw the iron pillar, and Yun Chengtian stood up and shouted, "Iron pillar, iron pillar!"
When Tiezhu was with his parents, he didn't seem to hear the shouting of Yun Chengtian.
Yun Chengtian looked around and saw that every young man in the village who was going to cultivate immortals was accompanied by his parents. Yun Chengtian looked around carefully with hope. He hoped to see my mother's figure.
After some searching, Yun was very disappointed all day long.
The clouds returned to sit under the tree all day.
Just sat down, three Tianji disciples fell into the air. The leading disciple said, "The time has come. Everyone gathered and ready to go."
Yun Chengtian was a little disappointed to see that there were no Xuanming and the old man among the three.
The young people in the village gathered together, and the disciples of the Tianji School said, "Close your eyes and set out."
Everyone closed their eyes according to their words, and only Yun Chengtian still opened their eyes curiously.
Seeing the Tianji disciple waved his sleeve, Yun Chengtian only felt that his body was light and empty.
Yun Chengtian felt both excited and nervous.
From the last corner of the crowd, Yun Chengtian finally saw my mother's figure. His last hope was satisfied, and Yun Chengtian also closed his eyes.
I don't know how long it took, Yun Chengtian heard someone say in his ear, "You can open your eyes."
Yun opened his eyes all day, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he found that there was an iron pillar standing in front of him.
Two good friends got together again.
Tiezhu laughed and said, "Haha, why are you here?"
Yun Chengtian laughed and said, "Who will help you fight if I don't come?"
Two people laughed together.
"There is no noise in this place." A cold sound came.
Yun Chengtian spit out his tongue, Chong Tiezhu made a grimace, and the two followed the team honestly.
A Tianji disciple led the way in front, and the other two were at the end of the team.
A group of people walked on a narrow mountain road.
Clouds are very happy to look at the green pines and cypresses around them and the springs flowing out of the mountain stream.
Crossing the mountain road, the clouds suddenly opened their eyes. In front of them is an octagonal square. There is a Taiji pattern in the center of the square, and behind the square are three halls.
Yun Chengtian and others have never seen such a scene, and they are all extremely surprised.
When a group of heavenly disciples saw the stunned look of everyone, they couldn't help laughing secretly.
The disciple led bysaid, "Okay, come with me."
Everyone followed the disciple to the palace on the left side of the square.
Yun Chengtian secretly glanced at the plaque standing on the palace, which was the Tianqian Hall.
The disciple said, "Wait here for a minute. I'll go in and report to teach the real person."
Yun Chengtian and Tiezhu are at the end of the team. They are as curious about this place as everyone else.
Yun Chengtian quietly poked Tiezhu and said to Tiezhu, "Hey, Tiezhu, do you think that the real person is a white-bearded old man?"
Tiezhu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but my father said that most immortals live very long."
Just as the two whispered, they only heard a crisp bell ring. The disciple walked out of the temple door and said, "Let me in."
